Farmers Warned Not
To Plant Large Crops
Washington, Jan. 26. tThe Department
of Agriculture today warned
farmers of the imminent danger of
over-production of many products and
cautioned them to udjqst expenditures
carefully in order to maintain
farm incomes during 1930.
This advice was embodied in the
yearly report made public today on
the outlook for agriculture, which
was prepared by governmental agricultural
economists with the co-operation
of farm experts from 45
states and of members of the Federal
Farm board.
' "The domestic market may im-1
prove later in the year but it is unlikely
that the demand for ft^rm products
in the summer and fall of 11)30
will be as good a? during last summer
and fall," the report said. "The
demand for some farm products already
has been affected by the decline
in industrial activity since last
June. Butter, cotton and wool have
been noticeably affected and apples,
potatoes and grains have failed thus
far to make the usual seasonal price
advances."
The outlook report, described by
department officials as "probably the
most impoilur.t of its yearly economic
statements," is made for the parpose
of helping farmers to g#uge
production to the prospective demands
for their products.
"The outlook for farm mortgage
financing and for marketing credit
is more favorable than a year ago,
but on the other hand the outlooa
for production credit appears less
satisfactory in most of the South,"
the report said.
Items of Interest
i
United States postoffice inspectors
have arrested three men at Miami,
Fla., on a charge of attempting to
collect $50,000 life insurance for the
death of an alleged fictitious character.
John 1). Rockefeller, Sr., took :t
ride in an airplane at Ormand Beach,
Fla., Tuesday. The plane was taxied
across a golf field and did not leave
the ground.
i Five hundred rabbits of various
breeds were on exhibition at Charlotte
this week at the Southeastern
I Rabbit Show.
Arrangements were being completed
Wednesday in Hollywood, Cal., for
the removal to Washington of the body
of Mrs. Mary Baird Bryari, 69,
widow of William Jennings Bryan,
for burial beside her famous husband
in Arlington National cemetery.
Mrs. Bryan died Tuesday night at
the home of her daughter in Beverly
Hills, Cal.
I)r. William J. Calvin, Eustia, Fla.,
physician, died in a hospital Wednesday
night of gunshot wounds received
because of the playful antics
of his dog. Stopping to rest after
I shooting doves, Dr. Calvin rested his
gun against his leg. ?The dog brushed
against the weapon and in some
manner discharged it, the full* load
taking effect in the master's side
The physician lay in the woods with
the dog at his side until a searching
party found him.
Colonel Leroy Springs stated Wed
nesday in Charlotte that reports thai
he was a citizen of New York were
untrue. He said he had repeatedly
said and wished to repeat emphatically
that he is a citizen of Lancaster
county, South Carolina, and that he
pays taxes there and considers Lancaster
his home. He owns a residence
in Lancaster and lives there
a part of the time. He also said that
he had never moved his office to
Charlotte and that he never intended
to become a citizen of Charlotte or
any other place than South Carolina.
He also stated that his resig^
nation from the board of trustees of
Winthrop college has never been accepted
and that he has been advised
that until his resignation is accepted
he is still a member of the board.
After a twenty year deadlock or
the question of development of hydroelectric
power on the St. Lawrenct
river, it has been removed from its
nolitical atmosphere by the New
York legislature. The matter will b<
left to a non-partisan commission
possibly with Alfred E. Smith anr
Charles Evans Hughes on the commission.
DRUNKEN DRIVERS
At a filling station at 10 o'clock
at night on the outskirts of a Piedmont
town, a young man reeling ir
his tracks, watched the servicing oj
the car. Repeatedly he asked the attendant,
"Didn't I pay you for tha1
gas?" And as many times he wa?
assured that he had. In the car be
ing served were three others, an attractive
girl and two lads, all showing
evidences of a state of intoxicn
tion. As the car moved off, it wa*
evident that the driver was in nc
condition to operate the vehicle. Yei
out in the highway the swerving cai
moved, a menace to those riding in il
and to all traffic on the highway.
And here we have a very definite
example of conditions a highway pa
tr<|l in South Carolina should meet
Some authority should have been ex
ercised right at the filling station, ti
prevent those youngsters from goinc
on the highway. Perhaps it shoulc
be made the duty of all service sta
tion operatives to report such cases
Perhaps it should (be unlawful to sel
gasoline to drunken drivers in sue)

Health and Beautv
to"
The Complexion
In addition the liberal use of
water externally and internally in the
,,promotion of health and good looks,
massage is of invaluable service. Tins
art was even practiced among the
Babylonians and Egyptians. Trained
masseurs were always in attendance
in the hath houses of Greece and j
Rome. The frequenters of the bat)) i
were kneaded, moulded and massaged '
while lying upon marble tables.
The art of massage is today well !
understood in Europe, where its thef- J
apeutic value is greatly appreciated. '
Very few Americans understand its :
virtues or its technique. Massage is.'
valuable because it brings the blood '
to the parts. The muscles wither or :
shrivel largely on account of the j
1 slowing down of the circulation. The
blood contains all of the nutriment or ,
i nourishment fpr the body and when :
. it is not carried abundantly to all
i parts of the organism it suffers. This
is often shown by the premature yellowing
and wrinkling of the skin.
Bathing, massage *nd exercise, all
quicken the circulation and send a
' greater blood supply all over the fcodv
and so help in keeping it in a healthful
and therefore" youthful state.
The majority of people do not know
the difference between a rubbing and
a massage. One needs but little in
struction in order to rub n patient.
' but a massage can only be admtn:
ister by one who has'had adequate
? training and is skilled in the art. It
involves most careful and prolonged
' instruction.
In beauty shops, the girls' who are
; in attendance, often know nothing of
the structure of the anatomy of the
face, and yet they are posing as
t trained workers. The face can be
1 very .quickly aged and the skin become
stretched by the unscientific
i manipulations of ignorant persons.
Face steaming is harmful. The
y extreme heat attracts the natural fat
j and in time will cause the skin to
r become flabby. Many so-called astringents
are very harmful to t.he
s complexion. They dry -it out too
? much and disturb the natural secrvj'
tions.
Another cause of the unwelcome
wrinkles is the habit of squinting and
frowning. The former is often due
to defective eyesight, and is remedied
by proper adjustment of glasses. The
; latter can be secured by will-power
. alone.
